SAMHSA’s “wellness initiative” promotes the connecting of all aspects of behavioral health to help individuals better manage their condition. The initiative’s message essentially encourages the practice of overall well-being as an essential foundation for good health.

SAMHSA’s “wellness initiative” further promotes incorporating the various dimensions of wellness, such as choosing healthy foods, forming strong relationships, and exercising often, into everyday habits to help individuals live longer and improve their quality of life.

“According to the 2015 Pratt, Druss, Manderscheid, and Walker article, individuals with anxiety or depression had a 60% higher mortality than those without these conditions. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the U.S., often coupled with anxiety disorders, which affect 18% of American adults. For individuals with schizophrenia, the 2015 Olfson, Gerhard, and Huang study (link is external) found this population experienced mortality 3.5 times the rate of the general population. In both populations, behavioral risk factors like smoking and lack of physical activity contributed to premature mortality, as reported in the 2015 Pratt, Druss, Manderscheid, and Walker article.”
